@AnarchoCatgirlism Reminds me of the way you need to include "Please" in your Intercal programs. Too few or too many and the program doesn't work, it's got to be just right.
Intercal was meant as a joke, at least,

RE: @eugenialoli@mastodon.social
The cat distribution system put Noonie in our path (or us in hers). She was in such a bad shape that the vet couldn't believe that she was alive at all, and gave her at most hours to live.
We took care of her, and she got to live another 4 1/2 months.
That was as big a miracle as we could hope for. Late last week, she stopped eating and drinking, and it was clear to everyone that she was on a path with no way back and that she was in tremendous pain. Her body is buried in the back of our yard.

MARIA, the graphics chip in the Atari 7800, had 24k transistors. Atari sold about 3.8M units of that console, which adds up to 91.2B transistors.
Coincidentally, GB202-300, the graphics chip in the NVIDIA 5090, has 92.2B transistors.
Just sayin'

-Fork a major Open Source project for a narrow purpose
-Upstream doesn't accept your contributions because they want to support the broad case, not just your narrow one.
-Don't keep your fork updated with upstream.
-The project you forked depends on python
-Python breaks compatibility with the version you forked.
-Now your fork doesn't build.

2022: we buy a house that has potential for a large art studio.
2024: we move into that house.
2026: we start construction on the actual art studio (literally 2 days ago).
There's a good chance we'll have it completed by the end of the year, I'm crossing fingers that we reach a specific milestone by mid-summer.

Ski (the mostly white cat in the back) has a hard time with other cats. She likes her alone quiet time. When Mandalena died, Ski was devastated, since Mandalena knew to respect Ski's space.
Now, after two months with only the two of them in the house (down from a peak of 8), Ski and Buffy are getting along well, playing together, grooming each other, sleeping together. We're happy for them.

I'm giving myself one last week to clear up the space where we will be building our arts and crafts studio. In a week, if there are still a few things left in there that get covered in construction dust, it'll be on me to clean things up.
(spoiler alert: most of what's left in there is either reasonably dust-proof or still covered in construction dust from the previous phase).
We need to get everything ready by mid-August at the very latest. It's a tight schedule.

So, you want me to code in a language that has no formal specification, no test suite, that changes continuously, where builds are not reproducible, where results depend on a hidden state in a build cache that can't be backed up, where I have to pay for each compilation, where I have to continuously send a copy of my code to a third party, and that might disappear with no notice?
Geee, vibe coding looks FUN!

Initial development isn't the most expensive part of software engineering. Maintenance is. Cutting corners in initial development results in a larger increase in maintenance cost.
Writing code isn't the most expensive part of initial development. Refining the requirements, designing, documenting, writing tests, and reviewing are more expensive that writing code. Cutting corners in those results in a larger increase in initial development and maintenance costs.
This is a post about vibe coding.
